Best Practices

• •Know Your Audience(s): Tailor the nuance of your tone. While generally inclusive, use more specific, proud, and familiar language when addressing the Alpha Kappa Alpha community (e.g., "Sisters," "SkeeWee"). Maintain a chic, empowering, and stylish tone for general women's apparel.
• •Emphasize Uniqueness and Curation: Consistently highlight that pieces are "uniquely designed" or "carefully curated," reinforcing the brand's value proposition beyond just being a retailer.
• •Infuse Sorority Pride (Where Appropriate): For "The Para Collection™," always weave in themes of sisterhood, heritage, and the significance of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Use relevant hashtags and terminology authentically.
• •Maintain an Empowering and Positive Voice: Language should make customers feel good about their purchases and their association with the brand. Focus on style, confidence, and community.
• •Be Visually Consistent with Your Words: Ensure that the copy complements the visual branding. If the visuals are chic and stylish, the copy should mirror that. If they are community-focused, the language should be inclusive and warm. The Instagram feed generally does this well.

Social Perception

Niche Appeal (Go-to for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority paraphernalia), Fashion-Conscious, Supportive of Small Business, Mixed External Reviews (but positive perception within target niche)
